Story

•
5 Children 1 Adult

A family of six, led by a single mother with five children, recently had to evacuate their apartment due to domestic violence, leaving behind all their belongings. The mother is employed full-time and is also pursuing her college education. While they have secured a new apartment, they are currently facing challenges in acquiring furniture. The mother is specifically requesting beds for her children. Additionally, the family is experiencing financial difficulties due to the apartment deposit. They would greatly benefit from a gift card for laundry services and some hygiene products. Any assistance at this time would be immensely appreciated, as the mother is dedicated to stabilizing her family's situation and providing for her children independently.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Good morning, Care Portal.

Our team is currently working with a family of four who have until May 31st to address their hoarding situation. There are two children in the home, and at this time, the house is not a safe environment for them. We are seeking assistance not only from churches but also from businesses that have a dedicated team of four or five individuals willing to help us.

Additionally, we are requesting support for a dumpster rental to safely dispose of unwanted items. Other necessary items include trash bags, six boxes, gloves, six large totes, mouse traps, and cleaning supplies.

The mother in this family is struggling with severe depression, while the father is trying to keep up with expenses. DCCCA is working diligently to support the family's mental health and the children's mental and social needs.

We truly need your support and would be honored to collaborate with multiple agencies, churches, and businesses to help this family stay together and improve their situation. Together, we can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for reading and for all you do to keep families together.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.
